the display, apply the solution to
the narrow edge of the test strip
until the meter beeps. Make sure

pletely.
NOTE
: The meter may switch off if the control solution sample is not applied
within 2 minutes of the
symbol appearing on the screen. If the meter
turns off, remove the strip, reinsert, and start from step 1.
Step 4 Waiting for the Result
The display segments will rotate
clockwise and a test result will ap-
pear after the meter counts down
from 5 to 1. The test result with
control solution flag is stored in
the memory but not included in the
averages.
Step 5 Comparing the Result
Compare the result displayed on
the meter to the range printed on
the test strip vial.
The result should fall within the
range.
CAUTION
The range printed on the test strip vial is for the Control Solution
only. It has nothing to do with your blood glucose level.
